Polarized Light Microscope

The polarizing light microscope (PLM) (Leica DMR-XP shown above) is the microscopist’s main tool for particle identification.  Using plain and crossed polarized light, a microscopist can characterize the optical properties of crystalline material, which along with morphology and color can lead to their identification.  The polarized light microscope has a variety of objectives that result in magnifications from 25-630 times with minimal sample preparation.
